build: remove publicPath from webpack dev config

[johnpaulmedina]

Added rootDir const to webpack dev config. Should resolve issue with build we discussed on #2167

Coverage remained the same at 82.454% when pulling 3d645f6 on johnpaulmedina:hotfix/webpack-dev-config into d200517 on katspaugh:master.

thanks @johnpaulmedina. Previously localhost:8080 showed a file listing of the rootdir and after some tweaking this is what most resembles prev situation:

Otherwise browsing to localhost:8080 will result in a GET error. Can you make test and make these changes?

[johnpaulmedina]

Got it. I tested it and it now serves the root dir as requested. So the localhost can access either directory now as previously.
